We have made a number of studies of UK tidal potential. The 2010\u2019s Severn Tidal Power feasibility study [1] assessed the potential for 5 generic projects.<\/p>
The 2012\u2019s Crown Estate UK Wave and Tidal Key Resource Areas [2] study assessed the UK\u2019s theoretical resource for tidal stream, barrage and lagoon resource at 95 TWh/year (32 GW), 96 TWh/year (45 GW) and 25 TWh/year (14 GW) respectively.<\/p>
The Technology Innovation Needs Assessment [3] (TINA) published in 2012 estimated that tidal stream energy could practically deliver 20-30 TWh/year around 2050.<\/p>
